Description

Homemade sauce is easy and quick to prepare. Some home cooks struggle with making caramel—it burns, curdles, doesn't thicken, etc. With this recipe, you'll forget all those problems for good. Here's a step-by-step guide that anyone can follow. I highly recommend adding vanilla extract and salt to the sauce. Remember: you can store the finished sauce in the refrigerator for several days.
